Mae yn ddweud ond gall pheolol yma yn unosig, But I think they've grasped a hellu phob fel hynny gyda g были frontier, and that's the benefit of gambling that we knew earlier that it was important to do that. I think people can see that every game, there's really strong elements in our play. Other areas that will continue to work on but they'll improve as the season progresses. We have no doubt about that. Mae'r ddod o'r gweithio'n meddwl i'r gweithio'n meddwl i'r gweithio a'r gweithio'n meddwl. Yn Yn Blackburn, dyna'r gweithio'r ddweud yng nghymru o'r ddod o'r ddod?

A'n fyddech chi'n gwybod i'r ffordd dros yma. A'n Blackburn, yn y Llyfr Gwlad, mae'n gweithio'n cael ei gweithio'n lluniau? Mae'n gweithio'n gweithio i'r amser, mae'n gweithio'n gweithio'n cyfrifio'n rhaid o Bradford City? We feel that it is the same thing as in the game. Does that change the preparation or the thinking at all? We were right to have a healthy respect for Blackburn. It was a really good start and just a couple of stumbles since but we were not quite sure which way they would go. They obviously made a lot of changes to the last game against Heartley-Bull which were quite comfortable so it is whether or not they stick with that squad of players that they used Felly, we'll have to adjust accordingly. Obviously, we're not quite sure which way they'll go. We'll be as strong as we were against them. We're still early in the season. We're still trying to perform those relationships that I talk about in the team. So, it's another opportunity to do that. But obviously, there's opportunities to freshen it up as well. And I guess, as well, Wyclew, you do take that confidence to a side who probably will allow you a little bit more time on the ball so the players can really play the game that they're trying to play. Well, yeah, there won't be as many transitions. Clearly, when we go up against League 2 opposition, sometimes it's a lot more directed. There's a lot of balls just helped on and you're chasing lost causes and you have to deal with them because it's teams play that way because it's effective, so you have to do that. But championship sides, higher league sides, you usually want to get the ball in a great position and move the ball around and we saw that against home. But that allows us time to get our shape as well and make sure that we're ready to spring when we need to. On your personal success at Blackburn as a player and as a manager, just your thoughts on them as a club in your time? I had a great time both as a player and as a manager. I was there for a couple of years as a player and we got a promotion and we won a trophy. So, yeah, it was a great time. Good group of lads as well, a really talented group I was fortunate to play with. And then when I went as a manager straight away, it was my first job in club football and they embraced everything that I asked them to do and we had four great years, a couple of cup semifinals, every cup semifinals, league cup semifinals. We qualified for Europe by virtue of our league position, sixth place in the Premier League and we were never, apart from one year, I think, out of the top 10. So, yeah, I had a great time, a really good club. Obviously a lot of people I was working with then have left, unfortunately for the club in my view, but times changed and there's a different ownership now. So, not too many people that were there when I was there, but there's still a few and they've been in contact, so that's always nice. Yeah, I was going to say whether they've left or they are still there, the memories you've made, I'm sure you do keep up to date with them. Yeah, it was a great time, really enjoyed it. It was a well-run club, it was a club that not too many years previous, they'd won the Premier League, so a lot of their facilities and training ground were absolutely first class. So, it was a real pleasure to go in and work as a player and as a manager. So, we've got fond memories of Blackburn. There's a few connections in the squad as well with Blackburn Rovers. What's it like from a player and a manager's point of view when you do come up against a former club? Because I know the fans and we like that narrative, don't we? But what's it like when you're actually in there? I think there's a build-up in that, I get questioned about it and players will get questioned about it, but the reality is that you're still just preparing for a game that you want to win, so all the talk and the noise beforehand really is set aside once the game starts. So, I don't think you're aware. I wasn't particularly aware when I was going up against a former club, so I just wanted to do well for the team I was currently playing for. And I think it's everybody's different. Everybody is affected in a different way in terms of their emotion when they face a former club. But I think it's basically a case where you get on with your job and everybody moves on very quickly in football, so it's important that you do as well. And they've had a lot of change over some of the new manager coming in different style of players, being mooted around what you've made to them. So, by you mentioned, they've stumbled the last couple of results, but a strong start to the season of the board. Yeah, a strong start, and that will have given the group real encouragement, obviously, new manager coming in. So, that confidence in terms of what the new structure is telling them, that obviously that's important to hit the ground running. So, yeah, a couple of setbacks, as I said, but they'll be looking to bounce back, I'm sure. They've got big games coming up, so we'll get an indication of how seriously they view the Carabao Cup in terms of their whole season. But I think it'll be a good game. Whatever side they play, they'll be accomplished footballers and they play very well against League 2 opposition last time out, so we've got to be ready for that. But we're looking forward to it. It's a game we can enjoy and the pressure to a certain extent is off us. And with the club being in League 2 and the next round around the corner with the so-called Big Six coming in for the fans, for you guys, for players, it is a big opportunity to get into that third round and really hopefully get a great draw. Yeah, well, I've said before, there's only so many competitions that you're entered for and there's only so many that you can progress in. And we want to progress in each and every competition that we're in, so there's another opportunity to go a little bit further, a little bit deeper into the competition. And as you say, the deeper you go, the more chance you get to get a big club that draws a big attraction. And that's obviously, from our point of view, it's important in terms of finance. So, yeah, we want to progress. We want to go deep in the competition if we can. Thanks for your time. Obviously, at League 2 level, there's a lot of competition starting off. You've got a match this week, then one again next week with a league coming between. Is that a hindrance or can you see the positives at this early in the season? I think it's OK. I think it's about... We're trying to reap the benefits of getting some rhythm and understanding of each other's games. So, early in the season, I think it's good. Later on in the season, sometimes you may think, you've had a hardly game, obviously you've got another round of the cup, but if you're mourning in the winter months, then that means you're progressing well in the cup competition. You've heard me say already that I think good runs in cup competitions help League 4 in many ways. So, I'm not averse to it. Obviously, there's a lot of travelling involved that can impact on you, but from my point of view, my point of view, I'd like to keep on progressing this competition if we can. It's a good opportunity for us. It could help our finances. Well, it will. Already has. It's important that we continue to do that. As you just said, Blackbird, you made 75 of the League Cup. Have you personally, from your play in all management, got one standout memory from the competition? Well, my last full 90 minutes as a professional footballer was the League Cup final. So, at the Millennium Stadium. That was the last time I played 90 minutes, so I've got quite good memories we want, thankfully. And on the day I played for a number, I was probably about sixth choice to play midfield that day, but we had loads of injuries, so I got the nod. So, yeah, that was a good memory. I played well on the day, played a good Tottenhamside, who were the favourites on the day and were able to beat them. So, yeah, as a marker in my career, it's one that I remember. What about that game monthly? You said there was injury, so you suddenly came to the side. When did you find out you were playing? Was it quite late? I was just the weak leading up to the... I think we had suspensions. We had clearly had injuries, so I wouldn't have been that close to the first 11, but I think it was probably thinking back. There was scratch in the head, somewhat grim soon as we were wondering who to play in midfield, and I think Dean Saunders, obviously a fellow Welshman, he was on the staff at the time, he said, you should play Mac, because that's where he plays for Wales, which I did. Not when I was 38, like, but... So I had experience of being a midfield player and played at international level, so I knew what was required. It was just not my legs could keep going, but it worked out okay, so I was thankful for Dean's input on that. It must have been a great sort of bonus for yourself, so late when you're playing career to Sunday, playing a final and getting a winners' medal in what turned out to be the final season for you. Yeah, it was, to expect. I had two years there, had a great first year promotion, and it was a good time. A good time as a good club, well-run club with good football people around the place as well, and a good young players coming through the likes of Damian Duff was there at the time, a couple of years after and had a great career. So Laura's talent in the group, so I think that's what I was able to do later on in my career when I couldn't run too much. I made sure I had lots of good players around me who could run around a bit, so yeah, it was a good time, and I really enjoyed it. Obviously, going into your first club management there, how much did you learn there? Presumably, you went in great experience player, but in terms of club management, you were very green. Yeah, well, I hadn't been in charge of a club, but I've been, well, I was team manager for three years, I think, when I actually got the job, maybe four. So I'd actually built a philosophy, I knew what I wanted from my teams, and I think I was in a better place than maybe some players who've gone straight from playing into management, and it's a deliberate shock to the system, and a lot of them sink. That wasn't going to happen to me, because I had a really clear idea of what I wanted, and that experience of international football as well, going up against really strong international teams with not quite the resources that these teams I was facing, and it was very much like the Premier League, really, going up against teams that were at the advantage of better resources and bigger squads, but you had to try and match yourself, so I'd had that benefit, so I wasn't as green as people may have done, maybe. Obviously, going into this game, I mean, are you going to be wearing a track suit tomorrow night? Is that just a one-off? Well, I think, along with a great result and performance, the next thing everybody was asking me was why I didn't wear a suit, my wife thought I'd forgotten my shoes, so that was the first question she asked as I went through the door, but no, maybe it was the morning kick-off, well, early kick-off. I don't know, really. The problem I've got now is to decide whether or not I continue with the tracks or I'll get the suit back on. Are you naturally wearing a suit of stitches as a footballer? Is that a very suit of stitches? Not to a great extent, I don't think, but it's still a big decision, and it's a suit I don't know, so I'll have to win, see. Keep everybody on tender hook, sir. All the players will be looking around the door, like the new blue tracks, maybe that was quite liked it, so that's why I wore it. Matt, when you go back to your part now, does the fact that you've won a trophy with a club, does that sort of create a bond that will last forever with supporters? I think they will always remember that. If you're part of a successful team, then absolutely it's remembered. I actually got an invite to the dinner to celebrate that cup victory. I think it's in October. I think it got cancelled. It was supposed to be earlier in the year, so I'm not sure I can go, unfortunately, but it would have been nice to see the guys. I might still be able to do it, but we'll have to wait and see. There must be that empathy with teams that have done well for your club, because obviously being able to sell it in there on the back of a team from 20-odd years ago shows that people still view your commitments and your contribution fondly, so that's always nice. Is it the same within the team when you've been through something like that? I think it is. You don't have to be on the phone to them every other week or every year. Lots of the guys I've played with haven't seen them for many, many years, so I know that if we all came together then very quickly you'd reminisce and be like old days. That's what football teams do, current ones and ones from the past. Football people get together and start talking football. We spoke to Ronnie before. What are you making of his development so far this season? Ron's been great. We've been really pleased with how he's been able to come into the group and I think everybody can see the talent that he has. I think we did really well to get Ron. I think his club and probably Ron himself probably felt he was ready to play at a high level because obviously he had a great period at Swindon and done really well. I just think the attraction coming here and the fan base and the platform that we can offer players, I think that was what thankfully allowed him or tipped the decision in our favour. I don't think he would have come to lead to for anybody else. I'm glad he's here. He's playing exceptionally well. A big part of why we look at an accomplished team in terms of our possession and playing now from the back. One thing he said to us since he's came, he's found it a lot of fun. Is that important? I think the guys are enjoying the time together. A lot of them have all come at the same time and you see a lot of different relationships forming very quickly. That's been good. The guys have been here a long time. They're good guys anyway. They all want success. We all want the same thing. When you're all pulling in the same direction then that's always going to be fun if you win games as well. That just emphasises the fun that you're having. Just on Andy Cook, he's obviously in great form at the moment. When a striker is in that very informed, do you ever think about resting them or do you just want to keep them going while they're in that groove? You probably just want to keep them going. I think that's important for them. Scoring goals for some guys. I know myself. I was a bit streaky as a goal scorer and I scored huge amounts of goals but a decent amount. I did score invariably. They'd become sequences of games and maybe score four or five and six games or something like that. Games where I didn't score. But I think the important thing is that if you don't score you contribute and that's what Andy always does. He always has that impact. Always gives everything that he's got and at the moment he's in a comfortable mood. I think last year he got really down on himself which he didn't had. He was just conscious that he had scored goals and he all strikers get judged by goals. Everybody knows that. So he got a little bit down himself and I think that towards the end of the season probably affected his form a little bit. But he's in a rich vein of form at the moment. He's very confident and Andy's confident he plays better. In your experience obviously managers always talk about the overall contribution and that makes perfect sense and that's obviously right. But when you actually are a striker can you always look at it that way when you're in it from that? Well every individual is different. You know yourself if you're playing well. Sometimes the goals don't come and you don't get what you deserve both as an individual player and as a team. So you have to accept that. That's sport, that's football. But if you're playing well you always sense that anyway. So it's about just maintaining your confidence maintaining your form if you can do that then don't ever worry about if you're a striker you should never worry about never scoring again because that's never going to happen. Excellent, thank you very much.
